Hi there folks.
I'm just starting with PLCs in a small course I've inscribed myself. I have two major doubts.
- Is there any software capable of simulate a ladder program working without a PLC connected? I don't have access to a PLC and a program like that would be handy. Is there anything for PPC?
- When designing a ladder program, does it have to be by trial and error or is there any technique that can be used to get us to the program? I think there is some kind of method for pneumatic circuits... I think it is called ?Karnaugh diagram? or something?If so where can I learn more about such a method?
Thanks
